Lottery streak is still alive...

OK, so I bought a California Super Lotto ticket when I was in Barstow, CA, and I ended up matching one number (39) in the drawing.  I'm now not sure how many lottery tickets I've purchased so far (at least 5), but I do know (knock on wood) that I have ) matched at least one number on every ticket I have purchased.

 

I am wondering whether meditating and practicing psi exercises contribute to a slight beating of probability.  While I don't necessarily think I'll be able to overcome 1 in 135 milion odds to win the mega millions, I am wondering if there's a way to better capitalize on a slight "edge..."  J

 

I've never been a gambler, but I'm wondering if there's a way to experiment.  I am thinking the best game to do this would be craps because each roll of the dice is truly an independent event.  Unfortunately, video poker and slots are predetermined by formulas in so-called random number generators which are actually deterministic based on their initial conditions.  The outcome of card games like BlackJack is determined by the shuffle. 

 

I didn't gamble at all in Vegas, but I did gamble before leaving Seven Feathers.  I lost $12.50 in video poker before quitting and I won $30.50 in blackjack to net $18.00.  The craps tables were closed the morning we left, so I didn't get a chance to try it out...
